Visual experiment research of the inhaled particle thermophoresis deposition rule in the rectangle turbulent flow tube

In order to solve the problem of removing inhaled particle caused by the combustion source, the dynamics characteristics of the inhaled particle in additional temperature field have to be studied. The dynamics characteristics of the inhaled particle in temperature field are measured in designed and processed a rectangle experiment channel by the PDA instrument. This method is visual. The dynamic characteristic of the particle at 0.15 mm near by water wall surface in boundary layer can be measured through the direction change of beam of PDA light. The movement rules of the inhaled particle in the additional temperature field are obtained through the experiment. The experiment results show that the thermophoresis force has strong influence on the particle which diameter is about 6 μm and the experience formulas are put forward to calculate the thermophoresis deposition efficiency. The thermophoresis deposition efficiency formulas obtained from this experiment is consistent with Batchelor and Shen formulas. The research shows that the PM2.5 thermophoresis deposition efficiency is direct proportion to the temperature ratio between the inlet temperature and the water wall surface but is not the temperature difference in the rectangle channel.
